Inside and Outside the Box: Individual Creativity Versus Military Orthodoxy
Dec 2005, Vol. 150, No. 6
By Jock Stirrup
The subject of this article is individual creativity versus military orthodoxy. So how has this struggle between the old and the new worked out within the profession of arms, and in particular within the history of the Royal Air Force? Can it be claimed that the RAF has been more successful than other Services in this regard? This article - in memory of Lord Trenchard - looks at how people like Sorley, Wallis and Whittle have challenged military orthodoxy in the RAF since the days of Lord Trenchard.
